Pulling Back From The Brinkley
By their own admission, Wally and Jill Cutchin made a terrible mistake. Seduced by a gorgeous Brinkley trailer, they believed bigger meant better. It didn’t. Here’s how they pulled back from the Brinkley and returned to truck camping.
The 2026 North-East Jamboree season isn’t over yet! One final rally is happening at Timberland Campground in Shelburne, New Hampshire, and there are still campsites available.
After five-months on the road, TCM evaluates the Globe Trekker composite panel system and build on a Rugged Mountain Granite Platinum prototype. Here’s our take on the construction, weight, thermal performance, and more. This is truly an experience to reflect on.
A 1973 Ford F-250 and vintage Four Star truck camper quietly steal three scenes in the 2004 movie Starsky & Hutch. We paused, rewound, and went looking for the story behind Hutch’s “camper/apartment.” Pass the popcorn!
How is a @northstarcamper built?
We followed Northstar Owner and President Rex Willett for a quick walk through the factory, starting with clear-select lumber and in-house cabinet construction, then moving through fiberglass installation, wiring, appliances, roof assembly, and final testing.
Rex also shows how the cabinets and full-sheet fiberglass become part of the camper’s structure as the build comes together.
From raw lumber to wet testing, here’s a look at how Northstar builds its campers.

We went Bigfoot hunting at @truckcamperwarehouse and found two of them.
The @bigfoot_rv 9.4 and 10.4 are both long-bed campers in the 2500 Series, but the extra floor length changes more than you might expect. Both campers use a mid bath to keep the rear of the camper open, but the 9.4 features a wet bath while the 10.4 features a spacious dry bath.
We climbed into both, tested the bathroom dimensions, checked out the cabovers, and compared the living spaces side by side.
Bigfoot 9.4 or 10.4. Which one would you choose? Tell us in the comments!

The @hostcampers Mammoth Standard Kitchen floor plan includes an expandable cooking area that makes full use of the triple-slide interior.
We caught up with Host’s Randall Pozzi to see the setup in action. Here’s how the Mammoth’s kitchen transforms when it’s time to cook.
